Get Out This Weekend: Keith Johnson / Dancers @ Velocity

Keith Johnson / Dancers is the creation of Keith Johnson, currently Associate Professor who teaches both composition and contemporary dance techniques at California State University Long Beach. This past summer (well, "summer"), he was part of the Strictly Seattle Festival. We found a review of this show at St. Olaf, written by an opinion columnist who rigorously avoids having a strong opinion of the piece. God we love Minnesota. Here's the program:

Brink explores the ideas of risk, caution, and the messiness of beauty in the quest for perfection. Music: George Crumb.

I Dream A Highway was inspired by the Dust-Bowl era and touches upon the longing and desire created by distance. Music: Gillian Welch.

Girl Falling Towards The Sky was inspired by the lives of three American girls and is a celebration of the human spirit in times of triumph and tragedy. It has a set piece by Rogelio Lopez Garcia. Music: Wim Mertens.

8pm, Nov 9-11 // Velocity Mainspace Theatre // Tickets $15 (+fee)
